Unfortunately, none of us can control storms like Harvey and mitigate its impact. However, we can ensure that our lives and the lives of our loved ones are saved by planning ahead and making smart decisions.

Harvey is just the latest storm to cause destruction. People have not only lost their homes and their possessions, but they've also lost their lives. We can learn from all of the horror to minimize the chances that such damage can be caused to another state, particularly as we watch Hurricane Irma strengthen in the Atlantic Ocean.

You might not be in a location where hurricanes are likely to hit, but lessons learned from Harvey and the incredible amount of flooding can be applied to any natural disaster. The same rules apply: learn to stockpile and store supplies properly, devise an escape plan and evacuation route, secure your home and plan early.

Since we're in the middle of hurricane season, continue on to learn how to prep for a storm like Hurricane Harvey!

]]>Even though the country has their eyes on Texas and Louisiana as they recover from Hurricane Harvey, North Korea has recently divided our attention yet again. In the wake of a nuclear weapons test this past weekend, the U.S. has been forced to take another look at the options to respond.

There's no doubt that the majority of the country, along with most other nations around the world, are concerned about the increased frequency at which North Korea and Kim Jong Un are brandishing nuclear weapons. Is it time to respond with something more intense than economic sanctions? That is the question many people are attempting to answer.

So, let's take a look at the viability of military options the U.S. government has when it comes to North Korea!

If you live anywhere near the East Coast of the country, then you're probably aware that Hurricane Irma has its eye on the U.S. Its appearance on weather radars has been anything but welcome. Irma has some bad timing considering Texas and Louisiana are just now seeing the light after Hurricane Harvey. We're all on high alert and it seems as though any state that borders the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico needs to be prepared for the next Harvey.

Continue on to see the progress of Hurricane Irma and to learn if the U.S. needs to be concerned yet!

]]>Life on a homestead can be rewarding, yet challenging. You find yourself having to search for alternative and low-cost ways to live self-sufficiently. However, once you're able to find a solution, you feel a sense of well-deserved accomplishment. You don't have to rely upon another source for your day to day needs.

A part of your independence comes from owning livestock. They require plenty of attention and care just as your crops do. Feeding them can get expensive so why not look for a way to make their food using your own land? You're likely growing food for yourself so with a little extra effort, you can feed your livestock as well and add to your sustainability. It's cost-effective and much more convenient than having to purchase the food from a retailer.

]]>When we're prepping for a trip into the wilderness, our packing list may vary based on our location and the length of our stay. However, there are certain essentials that we always want with us: food, water, basic medical supplies, amongst some others.

Another item we always want on us is rope. It's such a versatile tool that can help us build a shelter, keep food off the ground, carry our supplies and even fish for food. However, it can also take up a decent amount of room in our pack. Instead of trying to stuff it into our bag, we can carry it in a much more convenient place: our wrists. This DIY cobra survival bracelet will keep your rope near you during your entire foray into the outdoors.

]]>Even though summer is coming to a close in some places, there is still plenty of beautiful weather to enjoy. It's weather that you, your plants and wildlife will make the most of. Depending on where you live, your yard might actually be a haven for many animals, including birds, that make their way south for the winter. Welcome them with a DIY birdhouse!

The cool thing about this birdhouse is that it upcycles a wooden wine box. You can feel less guilty about drinking wine because in the end, the container will be an ideal home for birds. As with many DIY projects, it's expensive and only takes a few steps to complete. The birds will thank you for the creative and unique house by keeping your yard full of life!

]]>Natural disasters are frightening and horrific enough. We risk losing our homes, our possessions and what we deem as “normal” life. The thought of losing family members is additionally scary. You wouldn't even consider leaving a family member behind in your home as you evacuated and the same should go for your beloved furry family members.

Fortunately, the safety of your pet (and yourself) can be ensured if you plan ahead. Hurricanes and other disasters can be somewhat predictable so at the first sign of a threat, you should be ready to go with your pets in tow. There are plenty of options for getting them through a natural disaster and one of them is not leaving them behind. They need a survival plan, too!

]]>This time of year is difficult for people who live in states and nations that border the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. Hurricane season is no joke and it's only natural to count your lucky stars whenever you get through another year without a major storm hitting you.

As Houston and other parts of Texas are just barely beginning to recover from the wrath of Hurricane Harvey, it looks as though the Atlantic Ocean is producing a hurricane of its own: Irma. If nothing else, Harvey has been an all-too-recent reminder to the nation that there's no such thing as being overly prepared. We must have a plan in place in order to stay one step ahead of the storm.

]]>Recently the United States has faced devastation that we have not seen since Hurricane Katrina. With violent winds and devastating rain, Hurricane Harvey wrecked Texas leaving nothing more than rising flood waters and little else. It was apparent soon after that no matter where we lived, or how prepared people were, this storm and its aftermath would pose a monumental challenge for weeks if not months to come.

With Texans stranded and emergency shelters filled to capacity, the situation is extremely dire no matter which direction you look. For most, everything is lost. Cars, homes, belongings and in the worst of cases…family members and loved ones. The rebuilding is going to take years.

We talk a lot on this page about DIY survival because while we would like to think that our government or various charity organizations are going to help out it's always good to do what you can do to prepare yourself.

While the full scale of this disaster is just unfolding, on the next page, we detail why everyone has to be prepared, for at least a week, if not for significantly longer.

]]>Sugar and maple syrup are both kitchen staples. We need them for baking our favorite chocolate chip cookies or when making pancakes on the weekend. We make life more convenient for ourselves by picking up these items during our next trip to the grocery store.

Instead of adding sugar and maple syrup to your grocery list, you should learn to make your own, especially if you're a wilderness junkie. Whenever you need a burst of energy or a mood boost, you can use your homemade sugar or maple syrup in order to get the job done. You'll be more productive and alert whether you're spending time in the woods or out in your yard.

So, continue on to learn how to make your own batches of sugar and maple syrup! It's more simple than you think!
